Your DH professions?

[TheMildeen]

I have enough leather to get to 700, then during prepatch ill spend hours and hours leveling skinning.

[Yorgl]

Just like with every new character, you start at 1/x

Is there anydrawback of starting Legion professions at 1 ? (Except not having "max profession skill" achievments)
Say I create my DH during early access and I'm really too lazy to prepare it profession-wise to Legion. Will I suffer some kind of malus, like not being able to upgrade the recipes ? (You know, the 3 stars system)

Cause if it doesn't change anything, I might not bother grinding mats in advance. ^^'

Mats are super easy and super cheap right now, it makes more sense that you do so.

[Sastank]

Main will be Skinning/LW still as it was in WoD. My DH will probably be idk. Mining(Don't have one atm) and Engineering? Something "fun" like that.

Yo dawg we heard you liked gliding so we're gonna let you glide while gliding on your glider.

So far I haven't seen any drawbacks with low professional skills. For gathering professions the amount that drops solely depends on the star rating (and it increases quickly anyway.. after leveling from 100 to 110 and some world quests I was around 400+ skinning) and so far 2-star recipes are no problem with my impressive leatherworking skill of 10.
I'll probably level leatherworking beforehand to a comfortable skill level (maybe 500-600ish) and do the rest with legion stuff and skinning purely by playing in legion, no point in painfully leveling skinning in wod for useless mats.

Thanks Impulz, that was exactly the info I was looking for.
Though it can be fun to prepare mats for a new char, I'm glad I won't have to worry about that this time !

You'll be 700 points behind everyone. So its a steep malus. And will probably suffer of the same "perks" as low level WoD profession : receiving less mat as long as you haven't catch up.

IMO it is really worth it to prepare mats to rush 2 profession if you allready know what you want to do. Or farm if you wrongly choose a collect prof.

You don't get mats in the same way as wod (through the crafting) and the methods to gain more from each gather are quest-based that aren't locked behind skills.

[Kellorion]

Im thinking scribe/herbs, never got a full scribe, and it seems like something a DH would do.

I would not recommend Inscription unless you've got all the other professions covered on other chars. It's only useful for Vantus Runes that you'll need once every week.

For leveling I'd say:
1) Enchanting! (you can scrap it later) Just to disenchant all the quest gear. Material cost for enchants are insane currently (hopefully will change before release). Enchanting 1 is already enough for that.
2) whatever you like OR a gathering profession just to pick up some easy bonus XP and materials.

Skill points in Legion professions have become pretty much irrelevant. So, it's not a big deal to unlearn professions at max level and take the things you actually want.

[Gracin]

Probably engineering and leatherworking. I enjoy having all the little gadgets, transports, and other shit that engineering gives. And for leatherworking, it'll be more of a transmog profession so I can get any old bop items I want.

[Deleted]

Have they done a big overhaul on profs? But what I can gather, crafting gear through leatherworking might actually be decent

[TheLimonTree]

My current plan is to pick up enchanting at the start so I can DE stuff, then once the AH has stabilized a bit and herbs aren't overpriced to pick up inscription. Enchanting is always useful and DEing old content can be profitable (I've made a lot off Haunting Spirits this expac) and while not often a great profession scribe has a certain appeal to me. Being on an RP server I've also integrated these into my character's RP.

That said, engineering always tempts me, especially since loot a rang is engi only atm in legion.

[illidarling]

Is Ench + Inscr any viable option for DH ? I'd skip engineering for my DH... Also the only reason I would consider BS is if we can craft some sick Warglaives, otherwise not. And gathering is for people with a lot of free time

[Rias]

As of now, Mining and Engineering. Because who doesn't want more mobility on an already extremely mobile class? Just think of the possibilities... Rocket boots off a ledge into Glider for a fast paced getaway, land maybe fight some more, and glide away with your DH wings.

[Broken42]

Personally I'm going with mining and jewelcrafting, gives me a way to make money throughout the xpack and a decent supply of bloods.

[sworddude]

Engineering/whatever so I can use my wormholes and Jeeves again. I got so used to using wormholes to jump around that I had a hard time remembering how to traverse the world without them.

[retsiem]

I took Skinning and Leatherworking, going to be skinning like crazy

[JoshuaNLG]

I went with Tailoring and Enchanting.
